FCPX Favoring Intel Graphics instead of 980ti

[Baltazar]

Hello, all

I'm having an issue where FCPX is rendering extremely slowly. I have my Intel HD graphics working (quicksync) and my monitors connected to my 980ti. I am seeing BruceX render times of 1 minute 35 seconds+

MacX Video Converter Pro is showing hardware encoding enabled.

I'm under the assumption that my render times with the 980ti should be around 33-35 seconds, according to others online that have run the test with the same GPU.

Anyone have an idea? It seems as if FCPX is only utilizing the integrated graphics and not my 980ti when rendering. Also, scrubbing through the BruceX timeline is not smooth in the very least. Hangs on the previous location of the timeline until mouse is stopped at the new location on the timeline.

Thanks in advance.

4690k @ 4.5ghz
16GB DDR3
MSI Z97 Krait
Reference 980ti
Samsung EVO 850 500GB SSD
Latest MacOS and Nvidia drivers as of today, 2/23/18

CPU temps idle at 25*C and 35*C while rendering.

I know AMD cards work far better with FCPX but the 980ti shouldn't be taking this long to complete the BruceX export.

Bump. Any thoughts? IGplatformID is set correctly as well. CUDA drivers are installed. SSDT patch is correctly installed. FCPX seems to still be favoring the intel graphics instead of the 980ti.
